Topic: post-subiculum

Neurons in sensory areas are tuned to various input features, and tuning properties reveal essential aspects of the computation performed by the neuronal population. In the post-subiculum (PoSub), neurons are modulated by the animal’s head-direction (HD), and most pyramidal neurons are fine tuned to a specific direction. Other cell types, especially fast-spiking neurons, are less specifically tuned but are generally still modulated by HD. By recording from ensembles of neurons in the PoSub in freely moving mice with linear silicon probes, making it possible to determine precise anatomical loca
